Whether online is a thing or not, I was thinking about it and thought it would be cool if the city was split into the various districts like they are now. Most of them would be set as PvE doing various jobs for fixers or whatever for typical progression gameplay, and then every other hour one district becomes "hot" and all the various gangs can fight in various styles of play for control of territory. Players would join whatever gang they want, unlock different types of unique body mods, clothes, weapons or whatever. When time runs out for the pvp zone, the neighborhood is split up into pieces of territory for each gang that competed, giving different benefits based on how much they control. It could stay that way until it cycles through the rest of the districts. Players would get an hour of downtime before the next pvp district pops up.
I like the idea of giving people an outlet for pvp, but still enforcing some time for people to engage in the world, or meet up with friends and do some RP things. It also makes the world persistent and lasting (relatively speaking), so people can enjoy the rewards they earned for their gang.
